For real .. it has wiped away years of progress in teen smoking (kids starting to vape are then 4 times more likely to start smoking cigarettes as well).
Agreed - it is probably slightly less harmful than smoking barring exploding batteries but is still a clear case of nicotine merchants being pieces of shit about "not advertising carcinogens".
It is a cliche but they are way better off not starting in the first place.
Vape Panic: more vestigal puritanical nonsense hysteria distraction.
except it does carry actual health risks?
If health risks are the concern the focus should be on harm reduction.
Then the question is if studying efficacy of harm reduction methods including bans or age limits or wide educational campaigns, monitoring of quality or other measures.
